	 	2)	the New Access Agreement will be assigned (without further notice to Consenting Party) to AFAC on the closing date (the “Closing Date”) of the transactions under the
Purchase Agreement and such assignment will not be deemed a breach of, or a default under, any change of control provision, assignment provision or any other provision of the New Access Agreement or the Existing Agreement and will not cause a
termination of or otherwise affect the New Access Agreement or the Existing Agreement; 

  










	 	3)	notwithstanding anything else contained herein, the parties hereto agree that, upon the closing of the Purchase Agreement, the New Access Agreement shall automatically be amended
such that the minimum purchase obligations of the Consenting Party under Section 5.4 of the New Access Agreement shall be as follows for each calendar year listed:

	 	4)	notwithstanding anything else contained herein, the parties hereto agree that, upon the closing of the Purchase Agreement, the New Access Agreement shall automatically be amended
such that the fourth and fifth sentences of Section 5.4 of the New Access Agreement shall be deleted in their entirety; 

  

	 	5)	the parties hereto agree that any purchases of products by the Consenting Party under the Existing Agreement and/or the New Access Agreement from January 1, 2004 through and
including the Closing Date shall be applied to the minimum purchase obligations of the Consenting Party under Section 5.4 of the New Access Agreement; 

  

	 	6)	AFAC will assume the obligations under the New Access Agreement to the extent such obligations arise and relate to the period from and after the Closing Date;


  

	 	7)	AFC agrees that purchases of any of AFC’s products by the Consenting Party may be applied to the minimum purchase obligations of the Consenting Party under Section 5.4 of the
New Access Agreement; 

  

	 	8)	the Existing Agreement remains in full force and effect; provided, however, that the Existing Agreement is hereby amended so as to delete the minimum purchase obligations of the
Consenting Party under Section 5.4 of the Existing Agreement; and 

  

	 	9)	MCI will continue to be obligated under the Existing Agreement and for obligations under the New Access Agreement relating to the period before the Closing Date.

	 	Re:	System Purchase Agreement dated October 29, 2001 (“Agreement”) between Marconi Communications, Inc. (“Marconi”) and Grande Communications, Inc.
(“Grande”) 

  
 Dear Mike: 
  
 Pursuant to this letter agreement (which includes any exhibits attached
hereto) and per Grande’s negotiations with you, William Webb, Tom Myers, Lyle Frank, and Erin Riblet, I am writing to confirm Grande’s agreement with Marconi to amend and supercede certain provisions of the Agreement, including, but not
limited to, sections 5 (Pricing) and 13 (General Provisions). Even, though Grande and Marconi contemplate drafting and executing a more detailed amendment to the Agreement to include other items over the next several weeks, the parties have agreed
to the items contained in this letter agreement. 
  
 First, the
parties have agreed that for purposes of calculating any monetary commitments under the Agreement, including, without limitation, under sections 5.4 and 13.18, all monetary commitments shall be calculated using calendar years rather than beginning
each new year on October 29th. The parties have also agreed to delete the minimum commitment amounts contained in
the Agreement and replace them with those shown in the chart below. For each calendar year listed, Grande shall be obligated to fulfill its obligations, as amended in this letter agreement, under section 5.4 of the Agreement. 
  

																						
	 2002

	  	2003

	  	2004

	  	2005

	  	2006

	  	2007

	  	2008

	  	Total


	 $8,000
	  	$	7,000	  	$	7,000	  	$	10,000	  	$	15,000	  	$	20,000	  	$	10,000	  	$	77,000

  
 The attached and revised Exhibit B
lists each of the Products, Systems and/or Services that Marconi currently offers for sale to Grande. The revised minimum monetary commitments contained herein are subject to the Access Business Unit (“Access Unit”) offering each of the
Products, Services, and Systems listed in Exhibit B to Grande under the applicable terms and conditions of the Agreement. In the event that Marconi’s Access Unit is acquired by a third party or is spun out from Marconi and such Access Unit is
not able to provide each of the Products, Systems or Services listed on Exhibit B consistent with the terms and conditions of the Agreement, then Grande is free to purchase such products, systems, or services from a third party and the applicable
total for such Products, Systems or Services as listed on Exhibit B shall reduce dollar for dollar the minimum monetary commitments set forth above (“Reduction”). 
  









 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary (a) Marconi acknowledges and agrees that it hereby waives any
and all rights and remedies against Grande for breach, if any, of any minimum monetary commitment under the Agreement, that may have occurred or may occur through the end of calendar year 2002 and (b) except as expressly provided in Section 1(A) of
the revised Exhibit G, attached hereto and incorporated herein and which shall be amended to the Agreement as attached, Grande acknowledges and agrees it hereby waives any and all rights and remedies against Marconi for breach, if any, of Section
9.4 of the original Agreement (Product Enhancements) that may have occurred or will occur through March 31, 2003. Such waivers shall only apply to the specific instances or events waived and shall not act as a waiver of any subsequent instance or
event. 
  
 Second, the parties have agreed to revise Exhibit B.
Per the discussions between the parties on and before December 4, 2002, and through this letter agreement, and subject to the Reduction and an adequate agreement covering maintenance, support, warranty, services, and other related issues, between
and among each of the Units, Grande shall make good faith efforts to purchase Marconi BBRS, Outside Plant and Power Products (collectively with the Access Business Unit “the Units”) through the Access Business Unit; notwithstanding
anything to the contrary any purchases made by Grande from any of the Units shall be applied towards the annual minimum monetary commitment as amended above. The attached Product, Services, and Systems List with corresponding Prices and other terms
specific to the Products being added shall be made part of Exhibit B and all purchases of Products, Systems and/or Services under the Agreement or otherwise from Marconi shall count and be credited towards the minimum purchase amounts defined in
sections 4, 5, and 13.18 of the Agreement, as amended herein. The parties shall also amend Exhibit B, as required, to reflect additional products, systems, or other services that may be added upon mutual agreement of the parties. All Purchases of
the Products, Services and/or Systems made pursuant to this letter or the Agreement, as amended, shall be purchases made under the Agreement, as amended, and the Agreement, as amended, shall control all obligations and rights of the parties. Except
as expressly provided in paragraph three, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, nothing in this letter agreement shall be interpreted as waiving or limiting any rights that Grande may have under the Agreement as it relates to the purchase,
delivery, support, maintenance, repair, or warranty of the Products, Services, or Systems. The parties agree and acknowledge that in the event that the Access Business Unit or any other Marconi Business Unit is transferred, assigned or otherwise
acquired by a third party, except for Products sold by the Access Business Unit, Grande has not waived its ability and right under the Agreement, including, without limitation, under sections 11.5 and 13.18, to purchase third party products, systems
or services that are similar to or competitive with such Products or Systems. 
  
 In consideration of the agreements set forth in this letter, but subject to Grande’s receipt from Marconi and the Third Party of all reasonably requested information and documents to ensure that the Third Party
is proficient, capable and willing to perform all of Marconi’s obligations under the Agreement, Grande agrees, without unreasonable delay, to execute and deliver all necessary instruments reasonably requested by Marconi to evidence
Grande’s consent to the transfer by Marconi to a third party acquiring the North American Access business (“Third 


	1	All capitalized terms used in this letter have the meanings given to them in the Agreement. The term “parties” means Grande and Marconi collectively.


  









 Party”) of all of Marconi’s right, title and interest in, and obligations under the Agreement. If Grande grants
the consent pursuant to the previous sentence, concurrent with the consummation of the transfer contemplated by the previous sentence, Grande shall release Marconi from all obligations under the Agreement but only to the extent that such obligations
have been assumed by the Third Party. Grande will reasonably cooperate in executing and delivering any instruments that Marconi may reasonably request in connection with the transfer of all or any part of Marconi’s interest in the Loan and
Security Agreement dated as of October 29, 2001, as amended, or the warrant issued in connection therewith. 
  
 Marconi and Grande each represent that they each respectively have the full power and authority to enter into this letter agreement and to carry out their
respective obligations hereunder. This letter agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein and hereby supersedes the Agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein until
such time as an amendment incorporating the terms of this letter into the Agreement is executed by the parties. In the event of a conflict between this letter agreement and the Agreement, this letter agreement shall prevail. Except as specifically
provided herein, nothing herein should be construed as waiving any rights or remedies available to the parties at law or in equity and this letter shall not be construed as an election of remedies. The parties specifically reserve all rights and
remedies available at law, in equity, or under the terms of the Agreement. 
  
 Please sign below to evidence your acceptance of and agreement to this letter and return an original signed copy to me at the address below. If you have any questions regarding the matters set forth herein, please do
not hesitate to contact me directly.

the Agreement, including, without limitation, section 9.4, will apply. 

  
 (B) Enhanced bandwidth delivery (“EBM Product”) in General Availability by 3/31/03. This relates to the increase in the line capacity of a single RDT from 672 to 1344 Lines (Mesa 4 cabinet from 1344 to

	4.	PURCHASE ORDERS 

  

	 	4.1	Placement of Purchase Order. All purchases of Products and Systems pursuant to this Agreement shall be by written Purchase Order which shall reference this Agreement and

gives Seller notice twenty-one (21) days prior to the scheduled shipment date thereof. In the event Buyer: (a) cancels a Purchase Order; or (b) fails to meet any obligation hereunder causing cancellation of any Purchase Order; Buyer agrees to pay to
Seller the following cancellation charges which will be applied to only that cancelled portion of the Purchase Order: 

  

 - 3 - 









			
	 Cancellation
 Notice is Received:

	  	Cancellation Charge
(% of Buyer Purchase Price)


	 61 days or more prior to Scheduled Delivery Date
	  	  0%
	 31-60 days prior to Scheduled Delivery Date
	  	  5%
	 30 days or less prior to Scheduled Delivery Date
	  	10%

  
 Recognizing that the
cancellation of any Purchase Order will cause damage to Seller in an amount that cannot be readily determined, the Parties agree that the foregoing charges represent a reasonable estimate of the damages to Seller which would result from such
cancellation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) there shall be no cancellation charges for correction of any typographical or clerical errors or change of location for delivery that Buyer provides to Seller prior to the date of shipping, (b) a
notice from Buyer to Seller rescheduling delivery of all or part of a Purchase Order shall not be considered a cancellation of that Purchase Order, (c) any termination of this Agreement by Seller by reason of Buyer’s material default or
insolvency shall be considered notice of cancellation of delivery of all unshipped Seller Products and the applicable cancellation charges, per schedule above, shall be payable by Buyer, and (d) Purchase Orders for non-standard catalog numbers and
special items are final and non-cancelable. 
  

	5.	PRICES 

  

	 	5.1	Prices. The Prices shall be the amount set forth on Exhibit B hereto and shall be fixed for the Initial Term, subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 5.3 hereof. All
Prices are F.O.B. shipping point. All freight and delivery costs will be in addition to the system or component prices shown in Exhibit B. 

  

	 	5.2	Taxes. The Prices do not include federal, state or local taxes, including sales, use, property, import/export, value added, excise or similar tax payments. Seller shall bill
as a separate invoice line item all such taxes and Buyer agrees to pay and/or reimburse Seller for any such applicable taxes. 

  

	 	5.3	Price Protection. During the term of this Agreement, all Prices shall be no more than the prices charged by Seller to any other similarly situated customer for purchases of
the Products in similar quantities during similar time frames and under similar terms and conditions. During the Initial Term, Seller may not increase any Prices without the written agreement of Buyer unless Buyer does not meet minimum purchase
levels as defined in Section 5.4. In the event that Buyer or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries select and purchase additional products from Seller during the Initial Term, this same Article will apply to such additional products. Buyer

was involved in the relationship between Buyer and Seller. For purposes of this Agreement, “Actively Solicit” means to initially call or to initiate contact in any other manner with an employee of the other Party for the purpose of
inducing such employee to leave his or her present position, but such term shall not include as wrongful any contact with, interview or hiring of those employees who (a) have answered standard advertisements, (b) have already resigned their
positions without inducement by the other Party, or (c) initiate the contact with the other Party regarding employment with that party. 

  

	 	13.16 	Injunctive Relief. In the event that the breach by the other Party of any material provision of the Confidentiality Agreement; and failure to remedy such breach within thirty
(30) days hereto after written notice of such failure has been given by the non-defaulting Party the non breaching party shall have the right to seek injunctive relief. 

  

	 	13.17 	The parties acknowledge that there are terms in the Loan and Security Agreement specifically applicable to Buyer and Seller that may be relevant to the matters described in this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, termination of the Loan and Security Agreement for any reason shall not relieve Buyer or Seller of its respective rights and obligations (if any) under this Agreement. 

  

	 	13.18 	Preferred Vendor. For the term of this Agreement, Seller shall be the preferred provider to Buyer of all products listed on Seller’s published price lists to be appended
to this Agreement, including but not limited to Seller’s Access, BBRS, Outside Plant, Power, and Optical Networks business units and all services provided by Seller. Any such products and services shall be provided pursuant to certain terms and
conditions specific to each business unit to be mutually agreed upon in an addendum to this agreement. Subject to the provisions of Article 6, subpart 6.1(j) of the Loan and Security Agreement, invoices for all products purchased from Seller under
this Agreement will count towards the draw down requirements of the Loan and Security Agreement. Only Products listed in Exhibit B (purchased from the Access business unit) will be credited towards the minimum purchase amount defined in Section 5.4
of this Agreement. As the preferred provider, Seller shall have the first right of refusal, but not the obligation, to provide such products and services to Buyer. Such first right of refusal for Seller is subject to Seller’s ability to provide
the products and services, as the case may be, at market competitive prices, under satisfactory delivery standards and with the functionality required by Buyer. In the event Buyer reasonably determines that Seller’s prices are not market
competitive, the delivery standards are unsatisfactory, or the functionality required by Buyer is not met for such products, Buyer shall notify Seller of the reason(s) for the determination in writing prior to procuring products from another source.
Buyer shall have the final decision as to whether the Seller’s Product is acceptable, provided that the reasons given for refusing the Seller’s product is reasonable. The parties recognize that, without diminishing the importance or
materiality of any other provision of this Agreement, this Section 13.18 is a material inducement to Seller’s entering into this Agreement. 

  

	14.	LIMITATION OF LIABILITY 

  
 NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS, CLAIM, EXPENSE OR DAMAGE CAUSED BY, CONTRIBUTED TO OR ARISING OUT OF THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF THE OTHER PARTY
OR THIRD PARTIES, WHETHER NEGLIGENT OR OTHERWISE. IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY’S LIABILITY FOR ANY CAUSE OF ACTION WHATSOEVER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED THE COST OF THE PRODUCT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY,
INDEMNITY OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY) OR OTHERWISE. 
  
 IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER SUCH INDIRECT DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF REVENUES, PROFITS OR OPPORTUNITIES), WHETHER ARISING OUT OF OR
AS A RESULT OF BREACH OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE.

 Marconi Support 
  
 Marconi customers are encouraged to subscribe to the Marconi Customer Support Program. The Marconi Customer support program offers access to the full range
of Marconi Technical Support capabilities for a fixed annual fee. Marconi Support is offered in different levels according to your business needs. 
  
 Education Services 
  
 Marconi’s goal is that customers have the information needed to properly understand and operate their own network infrastructure. Quality technical training is an important aspect of Marconi’s overall
support strategy as properly trained customers can design and support their own network better than anyone else. 
  
 System Installation Services 
  
 Marconi offers on-site installation support covering the installation, configuration, and orientation of key personnel. 
  
 Customized Service Programs 
  
 Marconi offers a variety of customer services available on an as-needed basis. These
services include professional network consulting and primary site support. 
  
 Marconi’s Technical Support 
  
 Marconi’s TAC is the
focal point of Marconi support. Our Technical Support Engineers (TSEs) possess detailed knowledge of the complete product family and all aspects of internetworking technology. Marconi TSEs staff our global TAC centers located around the world:

  

	 	•	Australia, Sydney 

  

	 	•	Canada, Montreal 

  

	 	•	Germany, Backnang 

  

	 	•	Ireland, Dublin 

  

	 	•	Italy, Latina 

  

	 	•	Japan, Tokyo 

  

	 	•	United Kingdom, Coventry 

  

	 	•	United Kingdom, Liverpool 

  

	 	•	United States, Cleveland 

  

	 	•	United States, Dallas 

  

	 	•	United States, Pittsburgh 

  
 In addition to the TAC personnel, Marconi also has field-based Network Engineers and Systems Engineers available to assist with pre- and post-sales issues. 
  
 The TAC consists of five groups: Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 and Level 4 TAC Support Groups, and Return Material Authorization (RMA) Group.

  
 Level 1 Support 
  
 The Level 1 Support group is the first point of contact into Marconi’s TAC. These
individuals take the first call, and ensure that the proper information is entered into the Call Tracking System (“CTS”). Additionally, they assist End-Users with simple configuration and problem resolution. 
  
 Level 2 Support 
  
 Once a case has been entered into the CTS, a Marconi TSE handles the case. TSEs are grouped according to product type and it is their job to
work a case to closure or escalate to the Level 3 Support Group. This strong teaming aspect within the TAC, and within the product groups, develops additional experience and leadership. 
  
 TSEs have access to a variety of labs with Marconi equipment, as well as equipment from other vendors, to assist in recreating the specific
problem an End-User may be experiencing. In addition to the equipment in the labs, the engineers have access to the most modern analysis tools from traffic generators to high-speed protocol analyzers. 
  

 Marconi GMS Customer Support Guide 
 D3 








 Level 3 Support 
  
 This team is the escalation point from the Level 2 Support Group to ensure that problems are solved in an expeditious time frame and Partner satisfaction is maintained.

  
 This group consists of senior Network Analysts dedicated to working on
critical network problems. This organization is responsible for ensuring all available resources are applied to the problem so that a resolution can be reached as quickly as possible for all escalated cases. 
  
 Level 4 Support 
  
 Level 4 Support consists of Product Engineering and Development. Problems escalated into these organizations are complex issue analysis and
resolution requiring hardware, firmware, and/or software fixes. 
  
 Level 4
Support is ensures that all available resources are applied to the problem so that a resolution can be reached as quickly as possible for all escalated cases. Access to this group is via the Level 3 Group. 
  
 TAC Access 
  
 When a call is directed to the TAC, Level 1 Support will ensure that the folio wing happens: 
  

	 	•	The call is logged into the Call Tracking System with appropriate information 

  


	 	•	The call is assigned a case number 

  

	 	•	A TSE is assigned to the case 

  

	 	•	The TSE owns the case and:

 Marconi Support 
  
 Marconi’s Support programs consist of two main elements, System Support and Hardware
Support. A customer must choose a Systems Support program and a Hardware Maintenance option. This information is summarized as follows: 
  
 System Support Programs 
  
 Marconi offers two different System Support programs that allow the customer to choose the access to technical support, software and electronic tools that meet their business objectives. 
  
 NOTE: All equipment, of the same type, at the customer site must be placed under the
same level of Systems Support: Business Response or Strategic Response. Different Hardware Maintenance Options can be applied to the equipment. 
  
 Marconi 10x5 Business Response System Support 
  
 Marconi’s Business Response System Support offers 10x5 access to Marconi’s TAC, This program can be selected by customers who use their networks primarily
during business hours and do not have a requirement to contact Marconi’s TAC outside of normal business hours. 
  
 This program operates 5 days per week, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. This is 8 AM to 6 PM local customer time. This program is also suitable for customers
currently operating their network in a test bed or evaluation environment. 
  
 Marconi 24x7 Strategic Response System Support 
  
 Marconi’s
Strategic Response System Support offers 24x7 access to Marconi’s TAC. This program is recommended to customers that require access to Marconi’s TAC at any time, day or night. It is intended for customers with mission-critical networks
requiring uptime beyond a normal business day. Customers with full-time production networks would likely choose this program.

 Hardware Support 
  
 Marconi offers a number of different hardware maintenance options. The level and cost of hardware support varies for each option, allowing the customer to choose the
level of support they desire for their critical Marconi hardware components. 
  
 Three-day (Business Days) Return-to-Factory RMA Service 
  
 This
repair option is a good choice for network components which are not mission-critical or where the customer stocks spare parts for rapid replacement. The customer ships the failed part to Marconi. Within 3 business days from receipt, a repaired or
replacement unit is shipped “best-way ground” and Marconi will pay return freight charges to the customer. If the unit cannot be repaired within the contracted timeframe (3 business days), a new or reconditioned, “good-as-new”
part will be issued and shipped. The customer is responsible for the freight charges when shipping the unit to Marconi’s repair facility. 
  
 Advance Replacement 
  
 The advance, next-business day option is recommended when access to replacement hardware is critical, but does not require same-day delivery. If the TAC has diagnosed the unit as failed by 6 PM ET, a reconditioned
part will be issued and shipped via next-business day freight to the customer. Marconi is responsible for all shipping charges. 
  
 Customers are required to send the failed component back to Marconi within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of the replacement part from Marconi. Customers are
invoiced at list price and required to pay for all parts not received by Marconi. 
  
 4 Hour Parts Support 
  
 NOTE: This option is available with the
24x7 Strategic System Support Program only. 
  
 This level of support offers
customers the option of 4 hr. on-site parts for customers who maintain their own networks directly and do not need or desire on-site assistance for troubleshooting purposes. This service offers 4-hour response time to the customer site with parts
delivery only, after diagnosed by Marconi TAC Engineer and support is verified by Logistics/RMA Group. 
  
 Customers are required to send the failed component back to Marconi within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of the replacement part from Marconi. Customers are invoiced at list price and required to pay for
all parts not received by Marconi. This service is available in select areas as specified in Appendix ‘A’. For coverage in areas not listed in Appendix ‘A’, please contact the Marconi Service Sales Team at 724-742-7774 or by
email at servicesales@fore.com. The Marconi Service Sales Team will ensure that all prerequisites are met before stocking a new parts depot. 
  
 4 Hour Parts and Service Support 
  
 NOTE: This option is available with the 24x7 Strategic System Support Program only. 
  
 This option is available to those customers requiring on-site service in addition to quick parts delivery. Support service is offered using
both Marconi personnel as well as Marconi’s Worldwide Authorized Service Providers, and is provided 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. 
  
 A qualified Customer Engineer (either a direct Marconi employee or Marconi Authorized Service Provider) will arrive at a customer site within four hours with the
necessary parts to restore network connectivity. The 4 hr. clock begins after failed component is diagnosed by Marconi TAC Engineer and support is verified by Logistics/RMA Group. 
  
 In addition, this engineer will assist the customer, along with Marconi’s TAC, with additional relevant on-site issues should they
arise during the course of hardware replacement. 
  
 This service is available in
select areas as specified in Appendix ‘B’. For coverage in areas not listed in Appendix ‘A’, please contact the Marconi Service Sales Team at 724-742-7774 or by email at servicesales@fore.com. The Marconi Service Sales Team will
ensure that all prerequisites are met before stocking a new service location and parts depot.

 Commissioning FS-SWCOMM 
  

After a site equipment installation, a Marconi Network Engineer will perform a switch certification to ensure that the switches are ready to be turned up, fully
functional and error free. Although it is in your best interest to have all equipment covered under a comprehensive Marconi Support Agreement, we realize there will be times and business needs that dictate non-warranty repairs to a product.

  
 Marconi provides repairs for all of its products at Marconi’s repair
center. Factory-trained technicians complete all repairs. Repairs are diagnosed and tested under the same criteria as those specified by the original manufacturing process. 
  
 All out-of-warranty repairs have a 30-day factory warranty.

	4.0	OVERVIEW 

  
 

 
  
 The diagram above reflects
the Customer Problem Report process. Customer problems come in one of two forms. One form is a Call Center Report that occurs when the Customer calls into our customer support center. The other form is Customer Problem Reports. Many Customers have
their own tracking and reporting mechanisms that they use to track problems with suppliers’ equipment and supplier performance in correcting these problems. These problems are submitted to the suppliers for resolution and tracked to completion.
This document describes the mechanisms for getting resolutions to the customer on reported problems, communicating them to the customer and tracking our performance in that area. The process contained in this document will follow or will be
equivalent to the requirements stated in GR-230-CORE and TL9000 Quality System Metrics.

	5.1	CPR Lifecycle Roles 

  
 This section will define the roles of the major participants in the CPR lifecycle. 
  

			
	CPRChairman	  	the customer interface responsible for day to day communications with the customer. This role is charged with representing our position to the customer. This person interacts with the
customer to ensure that the customer finds our responses acceptable, timely and capable of being implemented. This person is our primary representative to the customer.
		
	 	  	The Chairman is also responsible for overseeing the CPR Resolution Meeting and for coordinating all responses to Customer. This person is responsible for making the decision of generating a
CPR and for evaluating the company’s response to Customer Problem Reports for correctness and completion. This person is responsible for taking the resolutions from CPR team leads, formatting them correctly and presenting them directly to the
customer interface for presentation to the customer. This person assigns the CPR and directs the activities of the CPR Team Leads. At the time of assignment the CPR Chairman also determines Severity. This person is responsible for ensuring
appropriate follow up activity is performed with the customer after general availability of the fix and after CREL.
		
	CPR Administrator	  	is a Quality Department representative responsible for handling administrative communications with the customer. This person is responsible for entering CPRs (See RSQA 220) on all customer
reported problems and is responsible for updating the state of the CPR to reflect the proper status when working with the CPR. This person is also responsible for producing reports for the customer and for MARCONI Access System personnel that are
needed for tracking the resolution of CPR. The CPR Administrator shall be responsible for maintaining the Customer Problem Summary. The Administrator is also responsible for creating a CAR, as required to ensure that the response given in the CPR is
completed.
		
	CPR Team Leads	  	are responsible for resolution of a specific customer problem report to the satisfaction of the customer. These individuals present their solution to the CPR Chairman for reformatting and
presentation to the customer. Team Leads are representatives from the Quality, Engineering, Manufacturing, Marketing and Customer Support Departments.
		
	CPR Implementers	  	support CPR Team Leads by performing engineering evaluations, replicating problems and suggesting engineering solutions to CPRs. These individuals work under the direction of the CPR Team
Leads.

 The CPR is now the responsibility of the CPR Team
Lead. The Team Lead is responsible for updating the individual CPR records. The Team Lead shall work with the Implementer to define the best solution to the customer’s problem. The goal for interviewing the customer and capturing all data
related to the problem is within 5 working days of receipt of the CPR from the customer. 
  

	5.2.4	  RSPRDY (Response Ready) Status 

  
 All details relevant to the problem shall be recorded within the CPR record. The problem solution shall be documented in the form of a Customer Problem
Response Form. The response form can be found in Appendix A. This form details the solution and any workarounds and projected solution dates. The completed form shall be attached to the CPR record. 
  
 Once the response form is completed, the Team Lead is responsible for
changing the state for the CPR to RSPRDY. The Team Lead shall inform the CPR Chairman that the resolution is available if the next CPR meeting is not scheduled before any customer deadlines. 
  
 Before the next CPR Resolution meeting the Chairman should print out all
CPRs that are in a state of RSPRDY and shall schedule and invite the Team Leads responsible for those CPRs to the meeting. The Team Lead shall be prepared to explain and support the response. The members of the CPR Resolution Team will determine
approval of the solution. 
  
 After the CPR Resolution meeting,
the CPR Chairman will work with the CPR Team Lead to document the actual response to the customer. Information on the CPR Form may warrant the issuance of a Product Change Notice (PCN) or a Service Bulletin to the customer (see MKT 021). 

 

	5.2.5	  SMECOM (Subject Matter Expert Communicated) Status 

  
 The CPR Interface Chairman will present the resolution to the SME for official complaints. The CPR Chairman is responsible for updating the status of the
CPR to SMECOM when the response is communicated. The Team Lead is responsible for presenting the resolution to the SME for unofficial complaints. The Team Lead is also responsible for updating the status of the CPR to SMECOM when the response is
communicated to the SME. 
  
 The goal for communication of the
solution to the customer is 15 days from receipt of the CPR. 
  

	5.2.6	  SMEAPP (Subject Matter Expert Approved) Status 

  
 The CPR Chairman is also responsible for updating the status of the CPR to SMEAPP when the Customer’s Subject Matter Expert approves the solution.
Upon approval, the CPR Chairman will set the CCD within the CPR. Once a CPR reaches SMEAPP it is a candidate for implementation. At this point a CAR may be generated, by the CPR Administrator, as a tool to implement the response. 
  
 Unofficial or Internal complaints can transition into the FIXSTART or
Action Item State or be closed as required by the response. Unofficial or Internal complaints that were Major in severity are 

  

 D25 









 

 
  

 
reduced to Minor severity if the CPR is in transition to FIXSTART or ACTION ITEM states. (Change in severity only effects TL9000 FRT and OFR time target.)

  

	5.2.7 	RSPCOM (Response Communicated) Status 

  
 Following the SMEAPP state, official CPRs, shall be forwarded to the CPR Administrator for transmission to the customer. The CPR Administrator shall
update the state of the CPR to RSPCOM to indicate that our response has been communicated to the customer. The CPR Administrator shall also attach the response within the CPR. 
  

	5.2.8 	RSPAPP (Response Approved) Status 

  
 The next step is for the Customer to evaluate the response and determine whether it is acceptable. Per GR-230-CORE, the customer has 30 days to approve or
disapprove of the response. If the customer does not notify Marconi of approval or disapproval within 30 days, then it is assumed that the resolution has been accepted. The CPR Administrator will be responsible for updating the status of the CPR to
RSPAPP if the customer approves of our response. 
  
 Once a CPR
reaches SMEAPP or RSPAPP, it is a candidate for implementation. The CPR Administrator is also responsible for recording the resolution or location of the resolution so that it may be used by the person responsible for implementing the resolution. If
the response of the CPR requires a fix, the CPR state will then be transitioned to the FIXSTART state and remain here until the CAR is closed. If the CPR was closed with an unofficial agreement to do something for the customer to enhance customer
satisfaction, then the CPR will transition into the Action Item state until that action item is complete. When the official CPR transitions to FIXSTART or Action Item state, the severity should be changed to minor. (Change in severity only effects
TL9000 FRT and OFR time target.) 
  

	5.2.9	  RSPDIS (Response Disapproved) Status 

  
 If the customer disapproves our response, the CPR Administrator is responsible for updating the status of the CPR to RSPDIS. If at any stage the Customer
does not approve of our solution, the problem goes back to the CPR Resolution Meeting where the CPR Chairman reassigns the CPR for rework. The state of the CPR should go back to ACKRSP then ASMT to indicate it has been assigned again and is being
re-addressed. 
  

	5.2.10 	FIXSTART 

  
 Following the SMEAPP state (for Unofficial or Internal Complaints), or the RSPAPP state (Official Complaints), the CPR is transitioned into the FIXSTART
state. FIXSTART is a state where the CPR resides until the response that was given to the customer has been implemented. After FIXSTART, the CPR may be transitioned to the Delivered or CREL states, per instruction of the CPR Chairman. Severity level
should be minor at this point (for counting purposes only). 
  

	5.2.11 	ACTION ITEM 

  
 ACTION ITEM is a state used when Marconi has unofficially agreed to do something for the customer to enhance customer satisfaction as a result of this
complaint. Until this item(s) are completed, the CPR will reside in the ACTION ITEM state. Once the Action Item(s) have been completed, the CPR will be transitioned into the CREL state. The CPR Administrator will transition the CPR into the CREL
state, per instruction by the CPR Chairman. Severity level should be minor at this point (for counting purposes). The TL9000 clock is turned off during the Action Item state. 
  

	5.2.12 	CREL (Closed Released) Status 

  
 CREL means “closed - released.” The resolution has been completed, or the product has been updated to comply with the resolution and is
available to the customer. All commitments to the customer have been fulfilled. If the CPR had a CAR opened to address the problem, that CAR has to be at CREL before the CPR can be moved to the CREL state as well. 
  

 D26 









 

 
  

 General Availability of the fix is where either the action item that was pending is now due or the
fix being developed is now due. Subtracting wait time, per TL9000 counting rules, this is either the actual number of days (if less than 180 days) or 180 days. If the action item or fix is not available by the committed to date then the CPR is late.
Team leads should notify the CPR Chairperson as to any delays in closing a CPR by the date committed to the customer. 
  
 The CPR Chairman and the Team Leads will determine if a CPR will require Follow-up, upon closure of the complaint. Follow-up results shall be recorded
along with the level of satisfaction expressed by the customer and any comments from the customer. 
  

	5.2.13 	Closed Rejected (CREJ) 

  
 Closed rejected (CREJ) is a state used when a CPR will be closed as rejected, duplicate, no trouble found or can not reproduce. 
  

	5.3	Call Center Report 

  
 Customer calls that are unable to be resolved by the customer support center are converted from the Call Center Report, to a CPR by the CPR Administrator
as an unofficial CPR. The Call Center CPRs are reviewed at the CPR resolution meeting for further actions. 
  

	6.0	CPR Resolution Meeting 

  
 The following serves as a guideline for the CPR Resolution Meeting. 
  

	6.1	Meeting Inputs / Outputs / Agenda 

  

			
	 Meeting Inputs:
	  	 Customer Problem Reports sorted by status Full Printout of new Customer
 Problem Reports CPRs that are in the RSPRDY Status

		
	 Meeting Outputs:
	  	State changes, updates to Assign To and Implementer.
		
	 Meeting Agenda:
	  	 Assignment of New Customer Problem Reports
 Presentation of CPR resolutions by Team Leads
 Status updates review Assignment of CCDs
 Examine CPR’s exceeding target dates and CCDs


  

	6.2	Assignment of New Customer Problem Reports 

  
 The CPR Chairman shall present the new CPRs (OPEN and ACKRSP) that have no “Assigned To.” The CPR Chairman shall present the CPR, and a joint
decision should be made by the CPR resolution team as to the most appropriate Team Lead for a particular CPR. The Team Lead may defer assignment of the Implementer until later, or may inform the CPR Chairman of his/her selection. Assignments shall
be recorded on the report and given to the CPR Administrator after the meeting. 
  

	6.3	Presentation of CPR Resolutions by Team Leads 

  
 The Team Leads shall present resolutions at the CPR meeting. Each CPR resolution shall be accepted or rejected by the Chairman and participants. The
solution shall also be given to the Call Center representative. This shall be used in answering customer questions and resolving known field problems. The CPR Chairman shall present the data to the CPR Administrator at the conclusion to the meeting.
The team leads shall indicate any CPR that may not make the commitment date given to the customer. Alternative solutions may be pursued to meet the commitment date or the customer shall be notified of the revised commitment date. 
  

 D27 









 

 
  


	6.4	Status Updates Review 

  
 This section of the meeting should be devoted to communicating the CPRs that changed status since the last CPR Resolution meeting. No attempt should be
made to solve any problem, just communicate status. 
  

	6.5	Examine CPR’s Exceeding Target Dates. 

  
 Each category of CARs should be examined, looking at the report for days open. The following checks should be made: 
  

	 	•	Every CPR should be assigned to a Team Lead within 24 hours. 

  

	 	•	Any CPR that is open > 15 days and has not reached SMECOM or RSPCOM is overdue. An interim report to the customer may be REQUIRED at this time. 

  

	 	•	Any CPR that reaches SMEAPP or RSPAPP must have a CCD assigned. The CCD should be a date, not a product change event. Enter the best estimate, either an actual date or a quarter may
be entered here. This date will be communicated to the customer. 

  

	 	•	Target date may reflect a product change event, 

  

	 	•	The report of CPRs sorted by CCD should be examined to ensure that no CPRs are exceeding their Customer Commitment Dates. 

  

	7.0	Release to Customer 

  
 Whenever an updated product is released to the customer, the customer should be presented with a report of the CPRs (CARs with CCN). It should be filtered
to show only that customer and CCD (feature package we committed to). This will allow the customer to verify our commitment to them. 
  

	8.0	Defective Product Samples 

  
 If samples are submitted, the customer shall be notified of the disposition of the product stating how long the samples will be held and if they are to be
returned. 
  
 If the sample is under warranty and is not replaced
or returned, the customer shall be given credit or a refund for the sample. 
  

	9.0	Emergency Customer Problem Reports 

  
 An emergency is a situation resulting in a severe service impairment, service outage, fire or safety hazard. In emergency situations the normal CPR
procedure may be bypassed and the customer may telephone, personally communicate, or write a letter to be followed by the CPR. Inventory and departmental procedures shall be established so that emergency equipment can be obtained by the customer
within 24 hours of being notified. 
  

	10.0	Customer Problem Report Summary 

  
 The CPR Administrator shall initiate and maintain a summary of all valid CPRs. The Customer Problem Report Summary shall contain the following:

  

	 	•	Date Open; 

  

	 	•	CPR Number; 

  

	 	•	Customer; 

  

	 	•	Brief Description of Problem; 

  

	 	•	CPR Status; 

  

	 	•	CAR Number. 

  

 D28 









 

 
  


	11.0	Documentation Retention 

  
 All documentation and correspondence relating to the CPR, including a copy of the closed CAR, shall be retained in a file by the Quality Department for a
period of two (2) years from the CAR closure date. 
  

	12.0	Follow-up 

  
 After the fix has been completed the CPR Chairman and Team Leads are to evaluate closed customer complaints to determine if the Customer Problem
Resolution requires follow-up. The Team Leads will assign the follow-up person and date that follow up should happen. CPR follow up has been chosen as a metric in TL9000 to indicate proactive contact with the customer and as a measure of customer
satisfaction. Follow up should include recording a rating that the customer gives toward Marconi performance in providing a good solution in a timely manner. Recording of any customer comments is useful. Closed is defined as CREL.

 Mr. Bill Morrow 
 Chief Financial Officer 
 Grande Communications, Inc. 
 401 Carlson Circle 
 San Marcos, TX 78666 
  

	RE:	Grande Deployment of AFC Products and Minimum Purchase Obligations 

  
 Dear Bill: 
  
 This letter is in reference to that certain System Purchase Agreement between Grande Communications, Inc. (“Grande”) and Marconi Communications, Inc. (“Marconi”), as amended (the
“Agreement”), and as later assigned by Marconi to Advanced Fibre Access Corporation, wholly-owned subsidiary of Advanced Fibre Communications, Inc. (“AFC”) with the Consent to Assignment issued by Grande. 
  
 AFC and Grande hereby agree to continue to work together in good faith to achieve the
development, testing and deployment of AFC’s FTTH Product with RF Return as soon as is commercially reasonable. AFC shall make no commitments or representations on behalf of Grande to any third parties including, without limitation, Motorola
and Scientific Atlanta, without having obtained Grande’s express prior written approval. 
  
 For the remainder of calendar year 2004 only, AFC hereby waives its right to enforce Grande’s minimum purchase obligations, as such obligations were initially set forth in Section 5.4 of the Agreement and were
later revised in that certain Consent to Assignment executed by Grande, AFC and Marconi. However, such waiver by AFC shall not serve to waive any of AFC’s other rights under the Agreement, nor to waive AFC’s right to enforce Grande’s
minimum purchase obligations at any time subsequent to calendar year 2004. 
  
 AFC
is eager to continue to work with Grande, maintaining the strong ties between the two companies and the strategic business alliance that they share. 
  
 If the terms of this letter agreement meet with Grande’s approval, please counter-sign in the space provided below and then return it to the attention of Woody
Waters, 1465 North McDowell Blvd., Petaluma, California 94954 or by fax to him at (707) 794-7878. Thank you. 
  

									
	 Sincerely,
	 	 	 	 AGREED AND ACCEPTED:

			
	 ADVANCED FIBRE ACCESS CORPORATION
	 	 	 	 GRANDE COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
